Research
SEATA is calling for Case Study Abstracts authored by athletic training students. 
The student authors of the top 15 abstracts will be chosen to present in a case study moderated session.  A faculty or staff person from the institution of the student submitting the abstract must be a co-author and must have been directly involved in the medical treatment/care of the clinical case.  Submissions selected for formal presentation will provide a 15 minute summary of their case study at the symposium during “Clinical Case Study” sessions.  Each session will be moderated by an ATC presentation faculty member, with 3-4 students presenting per session; the student presenters will also answer questions from the audience during the session’s Q&A.  SEATA Call for Case Study Abstracts authored by athletic training students for 2009 Annual Athletic Training Student Workshop
